Not only having a unique beauty, Hon Trong Mai is also associated with a touching story about love. Under the newly born Vietnam, Ngoc Hoang appointed the Dragons to come down to earth to fight the enemy. However, after the victory, but the dragons did not return, they sent a pair of roosters to call back. But sent the wrong pair of roosters and hens.
